Last Thursday we went to Riga to celebrate one of my best friend’s birthday. I think the last time I was there was about 2 years ago?! It’s been a while. When we started our little voyage the weather was very gray and a little rainy even. I was quite freaked out because I had packed only one semi-warm jacket with me. But the closer we got to Riga, the warmer it got. We ended-up having beach weather the whole weekend. Yay!

This is actually my hangry face. Sneaky. 👆🏽👀

On Friday morning we went to Index cafe for breakfast. It’s 5-min walk from Radisson Blu Conference & Spa. I ordered cottage cheese pancakes w/ sour cream & jam. DROOL. After that we drove to Jurmala and basically spent the day there. Ofcourse we couldn’t stay away from shopping malls that were on our trajectory. So little pit-stops here and there were a must.

Picked up a little treat for the evening. 🖤

…and here it is – a dress from Sandro! [HERE] I was pleasently surprised to see Sandro and Maje stores in Riga. [Shopping mall Spice] I always end up leaving these stores with a little sumthin’-sumthin’.

It’s actually a simple black dress but the thing is I usually don’t go for that deep cut. That’s why I decided to keep everything else as minimal as possible. I paired it with LV Silver Light Sandals [HERE], Saint Laurent Classic Kate bag and red lips. Oh, and the biggest accessory of the picture – cotton candy sunset.

For our last breakfast in Riga I found the cutest little cafe – Mr.Fox! It’s also very close to Radisson Blu Conference & Spa. First of all, I loved the interior! Obviously! I’ve been obsessed with banana leaf print since Dolce & Gabbana came out with it couple years ago. It gives such an instagram-cafe type of look to this place. 😄 And their food was d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! Such a wide (& healthy) selection – smoothie bowls, avocado toasts, buckwheat waffles, porridge, oat pancakes etc, etc. If you’re in the area definitely check it out!
